[ a wet laugh. ]

Riko-chan, you're anything but weak.

[ compared to her... as far as she's concerned, chika is the one who's weak. ]

And sometimes... sometimes, it really is okay to cry, I think. For Ruby-chan, and for ourselves.

[oceanaria]

That's not true...

[ She might not believe it but it doesn't change the fact that Chika's words make her feel a little warm. ]

I wish we could've done something. Anything.

[heartholder]

Me too.

But at least we're in this together. At least we share the same feelings. ... Right?

[oceanaria]

Right.

[ It's not much but they can make it work. They'll just have to do their best once Ruby is back. ]

Can...can we stay like this for a little while?

[heartholder]

... Mm.

[ a small nod. chika will hold riko as long as riko allows it. ]
